1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Webster City Federal Bancorp (the "Registrant", the "Company" or "Bancorp") and
its subsidiaries, Webster City Federal Savings Bank, a federal stock savings
bank (the "Bank"), and Security Title and Abstract, Inc., conduct operations in
Webster City, Iowa, a community of approximately 8,000 people. The Bank is
primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public
in its market area and investing such deposits in mortgage loans secured by
one-to-four family residential real estate. The Bank's primary area of lending
and other financial services consists of Hamilton County, Iowa, and the
surrounding contiguous counties. Security Title and Abstract, Inc. is engaged in
the business of providing abstracting and title services for properties located
in Hamilton County, Iowa.
Webster City Federal Bancorp was formed as the holding company for the Bank on
July 1, 1999 pursuant to a plan of reorganization adopted by the Bank and its
stockholders. Pursuant to the reorganization, each share of Webster City Federal
Savings Bank common stock held by existing stockholders of the Bank was
exchanged for a share of common stock of Webster City Federal Bancorp. The
reorganization had no financial statement impact and is reflected for all prior
periods presented. Approximately 60% of the Company's common stock is owned by
WCF Financial M.H.C., a mutual holding company (the "Holding Company"). The
remaining 40% of the Company's common stock is owned by the general public,
including the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 are unaudited. In the opinion of management of
Webster City Federal Bancorp these financial statements reflect all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly these
consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an
entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted; the consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
of the Company included in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
2000.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Webster City
Federal Bancorp, Security Title and Abstract, Inc., Webster City Federal Savings
Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, WCF Service Corporation, which is engaged
in the sales of mortgage life and credit life insurance to the Bank's loan
customers. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America. In
preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance
sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for
loan losses.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS
2001
Earnings per share - basic is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding of 1,867,901 and 1,880,160 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, and divided into the net earnings
of $296,537 and $850,639, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.16 and $.45 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.
Earnings per share - diluted is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be
issued pursuant to the Bank's stock option plan using the average price per
share for the period. Such additional shares were 3,532 and 2,940 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Net earnings for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $296,537 and $850,639,
respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.16 and $.45 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively.
2000
Earnings per share - basic is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding of 1,937,981 and 1,937,981 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, and divided into the net earnings
of $358,367 and $1,027,327, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.19 and $.53 for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
Earnings per share - diluted is computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be
issued pursuant to the Bank's stock option plan using the average price per
share for the period. There were no additional shares for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, due to the average price per
share being less than the stock option exercise price. Net earnings for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $358,367 and $1,027,327,
respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.19 and $.53 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively.
4. DIVIDENDS
On July 19, 2001 the Bancorp declared a cash dividend on its common stock,
payable on August 22, 2001 to stockholders of record as of August 7, 2001, equal
to $.20 per share or approximately $373,580. Of this amount, the payment of
approximately $230,000 (representing the dividend payable on 1,150,000 shares
owned by WCF Financial, M.H.C., the Bancorp's mutual holding company) was waived
by the mutual holding company, resulting in an actual dividend distribution of
$143,580.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Bancorp intends such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of
1995, and is including this statement for the purposes of these safe harbor
provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions
and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Bancorp, are
generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "project," or similar expressions. The Bancorp's
ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is
inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the
operations and future prospects of the Bancorp and its subsidiaries include, but
are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions,
legislative/regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal polices of the U.S.
Government, including polices of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve
Board, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in
the Bancorp's market area and accounting principles, polices and guidelines.
These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking
statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased by $1.3 million, or 1.4%, from December 31, 2000 to
September 30, 2001. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.5 million or 39.3%
and time deposits in other financial institutions decreased by $3.5 million or
30.6%, with the proceeds directed in part to an increase in higher-yielding
loans receivable and investment securities. Loans receivable increased $5.3
million or 7.7% from December 31, 2000 to September 30, 2000, reflecting demand
in the Company's market area.. At September 30, 2001, the Bank had no real
estate owned. Investment securities increased by $1.7 million or 27.3%, from
December 31, 2000 to September 30, 2001. During the nine-month period deposits
increased $2.7 million, or 4.2%.
Total stockholders' equity increased by $262,000 to $21.2 million at September
30, 2001 from $20.9 at December 31, 2000 as earnings of $850,600 more than
offset three quarterly dividends totaling $443,387 and the repurchase of common
stock at an aggregate cost of $23,300.
CAPITAL
The Bank's total stockholders' equity increased by $262,000, to $21.2 million at
September 30, 2001 from $20.9 million at December 31, 2000. The Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS), the Bank's primary federal regulator, requires that the Bank
meet certain minimum capital requirements. As of September 30, 2001 the Bank was
in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank's required,
actual and excess capital levels as of September 30, 2001 were as follows:
Required % of Actual % of Excess
Amount Assets Amount Assets Capital
------ ------ ------ ------ -------
(Dollars in thousands)
Tier 1 (Core) Capital $3,861 4.0% $20,297 21.03% $16,436
Risk-based Capital $4,024 8.0% $20,560 40.88% $16,536
LIQUIDITY
OTS regulations require the Bank to maintain an average daily balance of
qualified liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and specified United States
government, state or federal agency obligations) equal to a monthly average of
not less than 4% of its net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings.
Deposits are a primary source of funds for use in lending and for other general
business purpose. At September 30, 2001, deposits funded 70.2% of the Company's
total assets compared to 68.3% at December 31, 2000. Management believes that a
significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Company. Borrowings
may be used to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal sources of
funds or for deposit outflows at more than projected levels. Borrowings may also
be used on a longer-term basis to support increased lending or investment
activities. At September 30, 2001, the Company had $6.2 million in FHLB
advances. Total borrowings as a percentage of total assets were 6.4% at
September 30, 2001 as compared to 8.6% at December 31, 2000. The Company has
sufficient available collateral to obtain additional advances from the FHLB and,
based upon current FHLB stock ownership, could obtain up to a total of
approximately $12 million in such advances.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $32,600 or 1.9% from $1.69 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $1.66 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001. This was the result of a decrease in the
average yield on interest-earning assets to 7.03% for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 from 7.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2000,
which more than offset an increase in the average balance of interest earning
assets of $3.1 million or 3.4% to $94.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 from $91.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
2000. Interest income totaled $5.1 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 compared to $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
This was the result of a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning
assets to 7.18% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from 7.30% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, which more than offset by an increase in
the average balance of interest earning assets of $2.8 million or 3.1% to $93.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $91.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Interest on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2001 increased
$115,500 or 8.8% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2000. The
increase resulted primarily from an increase in total loans outstanding during
the period, partially offset by a decrease in the yields on loans receivable
from 7.84% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to 7.74% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001. Interest on loans for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 increased $389,600 or 10.2% compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2000. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in total
loans outstanding during the 2001 period, offset by a decrease in the yields on
loans receivable from 7.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to
7.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the yield on
loans receivable was primarily due to lower market rates and adjustable rate
loans repricing at a lower rate based on the lagging index used by the Bank.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $27,100 or 25.5% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period ended
September 30, 2000. The decline resulted from a decrease of $1.8 million or
27.8% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $4.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $6.5 million for three
months ended September 30, 2000, partially offset by an increase of 16 basis
points in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 6.74% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 from 6.58% for the three months ended September
30, 2000. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $78,100 or 22.3% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to same period ended September
30, 2000. The decline resulted from a decrease of $1.7 million or 24.5% in the
average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $5.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $6.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, partially offset by an increase of 16 basis points in
the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 6.90% for the nine months
ended September 30, 2001 from 6.74% for the nine months ended September 30,
2000.
Interest on investment securities decreased by $172,600 or 77.7% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period ended September 30,
2000. This was due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities
from $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $3.8 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and a decrease in the average
yield of 68 basis points from 5.92%, for the three months ended September 30,
2000 to 5.24%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest on
investment securities decreased by $386,400 or 58.4% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2000. This
was due to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $14.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $5.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001, partially offset by an increase in the
average yield of 34 basis points from 5.90%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 to 6.24%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The
decrease in investments was due to the Bank having several callable securities
called, with reinvestment options limited in the present low market interest
rate environment.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $15,900, or 1.9%, from $853,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $868,900 for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. Interest expense increased by $245,800 or 10.2%, from
$2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $2.7 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in interest expense was primarily
due to an increase in interest on the FHLB advance. The interest expense on the
advance increased by $23,100 or 31.5% from $73,300 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 to $96,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The
interest expense on the advance increased by $168,500 or 97.8% from $172,400 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $340,900 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. The increase was due to the Bank borrowing additional funds
from the FHLB of Des Moines. The average interest rate on the advances increased
by 25 basis points from 5.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to
6.03% for the same period ended September 30, 2001.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for losses on loans
decreased by $48,500 or 5.8% from $838,800 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 to $790,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net interest
income decreased by $178,400 or 7.0% for the nine months ended September 30,
2001 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2000. The Bank's interest
rate spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 decreased by 34 basis
points to 2.30% from 2.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Provision for Losses on Loans. There were no provisions for losses on loans for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Bank had no
non-performing loans as of September 30, 2001. The allowance for losses on loans
is based on management's periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects
an amount that, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb probable losses
in the existing portfolio. In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into
consideration numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior
loan loss experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management's
estimate of anticipated credit losses. No assurance can be given that the level
of allowance will be sufficient to cover future loan losses or that future
adjustments to the allowances will not be necessary if economic conditions in
the Bank's market area differ from such conditions at the time management
evaluated the adequacy of the allowance.
Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income increased by $15,900 or 13.5% for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
ended September 30, 2000. Non-interest income also increased $75,900 or 30.0%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
ended September 30, 2000. The increases were related to an increase in fees and
service charges.
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $105,900 or 27.3% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period ended
September 30, 2000. Non-interest expense increased $197,000 or 16.7% for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to the same period ended
September 30, 2000. Compensation and benefit costs increased $23,600 or 10.9%
from $216,600 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $240,300 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2001. Compensation and benefit costs
increased by $80,580 or 12.8% from $631,000 for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 to $711,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase
in compensation for the three and nine months periods was primarily due to an
increase in salaries and the addition of three people employed at Security Title
and Abstract, Inc. which added compensation expense starting in October 2000
when the Bancorp purchased that company. Office property and equipment costs
increased $24,200 or 108.3% from $22,300 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 to $46,600 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2001. The increase was due to labor costs paid to a computer vendor for
installing a new server and computer network for the Bank. Other expenses
increased $50,100 or 44.4% from $112,900 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 to $163,000 for the three-month period ended September 30,
2001. The increase was due to an additional costs of $35,400 associated with the
Bank converting to a new data center.
Taxes on Income. Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2001,
decreased to $133,800 compared to $210,400 for the same period ended September
30 2000. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, increased
$122,700 or 20.0% to $489,900 from $612,700 for the nine-month period ended
September 30 2000. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of
2001 was 36.6% compared to 37.4% for the first nine months of 2000.
Net Earnings. Net earnings totaled $296,500 for the three months ended September
30, 2001 compared to $358,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Net
earnings decreased $176,700 or 17.2% to $850,600 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2001 compared to $1.0 million for the same period ended September
30, 2000.
IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
SFAS No. 140
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities" was issued in September 2000, and was adopted by the Company
beginning April 1, 2001. It replaces SFAS 125 of the same title. SFAS 140
revises the standards for accounting for securitizations and other transfers of
financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries
over most of SFAS 125's provisions without reconsideration. The adoption of SFAS
140 is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or
financial condition of the Company.
SFAS No. 141 & 142
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and
Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires
that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business
combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 requires that goodwill
and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets
with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with FAS Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The Company is
required to adopt the provisions of Statement 141 immediately, and Statement 142
effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in business
combinations completed before July 1, 2001 will continue to be amortized and
tested for impairment in accordance with the appropriate pre-Statement 142
accounting requirements prior to the adoption of Statement 142.
Because of the extensive effort needed to comply with adopting Statements 141
and 142, it is not practicable to reasonably estimate the impact of adopting
these Statements on the Company's financial statements at the date of this
report, including whether it will be required to recognize the transitional
impairment losses as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
